Apache Ant/Passing Parameters to XSLT
Motivation
[edit | edit source]You want to call a transform with a set of parameters. You want to be able to set these parameters from a build file.
Build File Target
[edit | edit source]<!-- sample target to demonstrate the use of passing parameters from an ant file to a XSL tranform -->
<target name="Parameterized XSLT Test">
<echo>Running conditional XSLT test</echo>
<xslt in="null.xml"
out="tmp/param-output.xhtml"
style="xslt/TransformWithParametersTest.xsl">
<factory name="net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl"/>
<param name="Parameter1" expression="true"/>
<param name="Parameter2" expression="Hello World"/>
<param name="Parameter3" expression="1234567"/>
</xslt>
<concat>
<fileset dir="tmp" file="param-output.xml"/>
</concat>
</target>
Input null.xml
[edit | edit source]XSLT must have an input, but this example does not use it.
